i truly hope that this generation grows up very open minded, and i think that these books are a good way to jump start to that.

Every time some lefty claims that in civilized countries healthcare or something else is a right, it is worth remembering that people have to wait in line to enjoy that right. Often till they are dead. In USSR they claimed that housing was right. Millions of people were waiting for many decades to enjoy that right and died without getting any. Same with healthcare. Everybody heard horror stories about healthcare in UK and Canada. But who cares as long as huge rationing bureaucracy thrives?

In civilised countries, healthcare is indeed a right.
The USA is not one of those countries, though.

Nice list, but I’m sad you forgot “Sometimes My Mom Drinks Too Much.” By Kevin Kenny and Helen Krull. An early 80’s politically correct children’s classic.

I have to respond to your “review” of “Teach a Donkey to Fish.” I am quite sure that you have not read the book. I WILL NOT raise my children to take advantage of someone’s generosity. I will teach them to work hard and earn things. My children know the difference between sharing and someone just trying to take something that’s not their’s. Your viewpoint, in my opinion, breeds self-centered children who grow into self-centered adults. The same adults who think health care is a “right.”

I am appalled that anyone would equate drugs and prison with conservatism. Only a sick , twisted, narrow minded person could think that being a conservative is criminal. Are you teaching children your point of view or are you bringing all points of view to your children so they can decide. That was a blatant cheap shot.

If only there were a book that answered this question: Why is it called a bed?

It is hard to explain stuff to kids. Best just not to talk to them rather than kill a tree for Mommy, Why Is There a Server in the House.
